Princess Of The Night

She used to be an iron horse twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me through the ice and snow
I sat alone and watched her steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder riding up the sky
She was the princess of the night, go
We saw the writing on the wall
She was the princess of the night
Id take a ride across the sky
Speeding sparks like lightning, engine working hard
Furnace at the footplate shining in the night
Iron striking metal the sound of racing steel
Its all I ever wanna hear, its music to my ears
She was the princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was the princess of the night, go
Id take a ride across the sky
She was the princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was the princess of the night
Id take a ride across
Ninety tons of thunder riding up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons see the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing steaming down the track
If I ever had my way Id bring the princess back one day
She was the princess of the night
We saw the writing on the wall
She was the princess of the night
Id take a ride across the sky, sky, sky, sky
